regardless, He was on National Television and told those jokes. Bernard Manning is vilified for that very attitude and so should Tim be. ---

Yes, he should be criticised, but I don’t think it makes him Bernard Manning, whose entire career has been explicitly and knowingly based on racist and sexist humour. I don’t know why I’m standing up for Tim – he is a gimp – but maybe I’d rather believe he was being tasteless and forgot anything he said could be picked up and boardcast. ---

Don’t think so. IMHO, it goes some way beyond poor taste with him. ---

Ye will be happy to know that Tim’s Swedish girlfriend of 18 months has dumped him. It’s a pity he is not leaving the house this week. ---

Maybe comparing him to Stan Boardman is more appropriate? Tim is a cnut and should be ousted for a multitude of reasons; the racism (about which I’ve only just learned here) is the cherry on the icing. ---

Ah, Stan Boardman. Gets up infront of the Leeds squad, management team, staff and directors and their families, friends etc, after the recent troubles with Johnothan Woodgate et al, and starts telling jokes about beating up Pakies. Unbelieveable. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by London\_Calling \* > **Congratulations, jjimm and welcome back. Sorry, though, to read you aren’t a fan of Kate. Does she think she needs a new nose, sounds like I missed that saga ?** Why thanks. No, I’m being totally shallow: I am neutral about her personality - she seems all right as a person - but I think she’s got a sexy bod (slap my wrist, I’m a married man now), suitable for modelling; I was speculating in an inarticulate manner that the agency that approaches her would probably demand a nose job. ---

**jjimm** - Okay, I see.

**jjimm** , welcome back - look forward to hearing all about the wedding, holiday etc. Alex is beginning to piss me off a bit. His need to form a close relationship with another housemate based mainly on mutual ego-massaging and assurances of intellectual superiority to the hoi-polloi is getting a bit hard to take. First, it was Sandy, then Adele and now the slimeball Tim. His judgment is seriously in question in view of his gravitation towards that vile excuse for a human being. I have a pain in my swiss with the faux intellectual conversations (Animal Farm, for fuck sake) and his willing participation in discussions about how the whole grubby exercise is somehow beneath them. BTW, anyone hear Tim’s diary room statement that he feels as if he’s unwittingly wandered onto the stage of a pantomime without having bought a ticket? Duh! **L\_C** , many people think **yojimbo** moonlights on Irish radio as [this guy](http://www.redemptoristpublications.com/reality/oct01/joe.html). Washing your hair? I thought so. ---

Joe Duffy the bastard. I’ve had old women accost me on the street telling me they said a prayer for me because of what I said on the radio. Thanks for that… you git. Anyhoooo those with a weak heart **DO NOT CLICK ON THE FOLLOWING LINK** it’s from the official site [Jade Gets Naked](http://www.channel4.com/apps3/bigbrother/news/newsstory.jsp?id=10723) I missed this as I was in the pub but I did see later on when Alex and Kate had a right go at Jade in the bedroom and Kate wanted to have a scrap with her there and then. Alex stopped the catfight unfortunately but there’s always today 😉 Tonight’s CH4 should be interesting. ---

I get the feeling that she lost that game on purpose, possibly in an attempt to get the men not to vote for her. Naked manipulation. nothing gains favour better than the oldest way in the world. Kate however, seeing as she is older, knows more ways to manipulate the men than just using her body. I doubt it will work out though. Alex couldn’t care, PJ will be gone after this week, and Johnny dosent like either of them. Tim is too in love with himself to notice anyone else. I guarentee Jade will try to shag one of the guys before she’s evicted. Especially coming up to a vote on her future in the house. I think she may be very devious indeed, inspite of her thickness. ---

**TwistofFate** I totally agree with you saying that she lost that game on purpose. And…BWHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! at Tim’s girlfriend dumping him. I know I shouldn’t get joy from other people’s pain but I’m going to make an exception for Tim. ---

A more disturbing series of photo links I can’t imagine. And, of which, that of Joe Duffy is by some distance, the most palatable: Jade’s kebab or Yojimbo on a bike – _YOU_ decide. Vote kebab on ooohhhhh ate-unnnnnndred… Did I glimpse the return of Mr Spinal “Alcohol is not my friend” Tap last night ? Just don’t know what to say about her knickers coming off. I just have to congratulate Alex on a wonderful retort. BTW, I discovered last evening that Kate’s family does live but a mile yonder and her father is pretty upset at his daughters behaviour – I suppose fathers don’t usually get to see stuff like that, although to the rest of us it’s pretty normal ---

I saw the C4 coverage last night. Unsuprisingly, there was no mention of anything that could be described as Doner or Shish. Suggestions that the whole episode had no great impact on the annual sales of kleenex, other than possibly to clean up the vomit, are probably a bit unfair. I thought she looked quite cuddly.
